I wanna run!!!!!!

I want 2 be liberated...I wanna be free...I wanna be released...

I can't wait 4 this two weeks 2 pass. In fact i want it 2 be over NOW so that I can go back HOME!!!...

Rest assured, i'm not homesick. Its been 3 years since i left home so i can deal with that. in fact i'm happy that i'm out of home as I've learned a lot from this out of home experience. i feel that i've really grown a lot from all this 3 years.

It just that this sem has been tough, especially the last month. Assignments, presentations and more assignments, its too much. I feel like i've studied enough. 4 years is too long. I wanna escape. I wanna run. I wanna drop all this crap n just dun look back.

So now all i do is moan n cry n wish 4 8/4/2009 to come so that i'll be free...free..free...

Internet Connection SUCKS!!!

Its been days now that the connection at my place in PJ sucks! I can't even load facebook without waiting for at least 5 minutes. Reading e-newspaper is a drag as everything takes time to load!!!!! Even the internet connection in 9 college is faster as i went to use yesterday!!!! WALAUEH...what is streamyx doing!!!!!

I wanna do a lot stuff like assignments and work but because of te stupid connection, after waiting for it to load finish also i no mood to do d cause of the waiting....sian wei...

Assignments berlambak gila...dun understand y some lecturers give so tidious word to do just for an assignments, they think we only have their subject and no other lecturers got give work kah? We also have other assignments to do wan wei, not just urs alone. How r we gonna do everything on time when ur assignment alone takes up like all of it!!!!

Someothers even worse, every adjective that is written in an assignment cannot be repeated. We are suppose to give her variety!!! whats veriety to u is more work for us. Don't you know that think and completing that assignments is already headache enough, now have to think multiple ways to say the poem is about sadness!!!! Heck that dude is dying when he wrote the poem, how many words are out that taht can discribe that feeling wei!!!!! STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

Dun wanna continue d, if not more unpleasant words will come out. Gotta start finishing assignments but 1st, have to wait 4 the page to load...AGAIN!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

Class tomorrow...

....and the vicious cycle begins again. Classes and assignments mad rush will soon take over and life will be crowded again. The love/hate relationships with people we meet and the praise/bickering about lecturers will soon come to past and then it will be just another one of those semesters I some how survived....

I dread to go class lah tomorrow but the holidays have once again come to an end and I will have to enter class again. Australia and Rose Cheh Cheh's wedding is a thing of the past and now I have to start listening to lectures, attending classes on time and work on assignments. It was a traumatic time last sem but hopefully this sem would be a better one.

However, on the bright side, I'll finally meet the people that I have not seen for a whole 2 months. These people have come to form an important part of my life and it would be hard to imagine my life without them now. The joys and pains that we share and endured throughout the years have only made our relationships stronger and I hope in this new year, it will continue to grow...

Till now I have no idea why am I taking this course but one thing is certain. It's all in good hands as I know all things are in His hands and God only gives the best for His children for He loves me so and for that, I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL:P

That's all for now. Till then, ciao...

Day 13- Graduation

Today was a wonderful day. Graduation was good. enjoyed every bit of it. Wished it nevered ended.

Had class with Rosemary and it was great. Spent the last session talking about the class control, parent's expectations and activities to make classes interesting. Then Matt came and we had the graduation ceremony.Everybody was hugging everybody. Gonna miss Rosemary. I hope Um will get her to come and teach there.

After graduation we went to restaurant to makan GOOD, GOOD FOOD! it was estimated AUD$40 per person so the 4 of us decided to share and man we had a LOT of food. We had muscles, scallops and squid for starters. Then we had steak, lamb shank and speggetti for main dishes and ice cream and cookies for dessert. It was GOOD i tell you.

After all that, we finally d=finish everything so we decided to go coteslow beach. but because we went down the wrong stop, we ended up at lighteon beach. It was great fun. Took lots of pics and tried digging siput. Thet have a lot of siput but all so small.

Gave the souviners to Fran. She was happy. I hope i left a good impression which i doubt it cause i'm so loud. haha

PCOP: Banks in Australia is very controlled. It takes half an hour to open an account compared to just 3 mins in Malaysia. Gotta love Malaysia sometimes.

Ok ppl. Going to Margaret river tomorrow. after that is road trip all the way up North. Hopefully will reach Ningaloo Reef. If not will see. Anyway the point i trying to make is that because i'll be on a road trip, hence i may not be updating the blog everyday. So sorry. Any pictures that u wanna see can be viewed in facebook.

Ok than, Hope everything goes well throughout the trip. Do pray for safe journey mercies for us driving around everyday. We're new in Australia so trying to get to anf fro back in one piece. yeah? ok. Till then, Ciao.

Day 5

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Glad to know that I'm writing not just for myself but for an audience as well. HAHA. So the attention seeker! haha

Today was a GOOD day! Woke up fresh and early. I really think its the jetlag. Had toast and went to class straight. Bath in the morning for the 1st time in Perth. Think I'll do that more often cause its really refreshing and nice. Checked my mail and facebook before going to class.The weather outside is SO FRICKING NICE! Its warm when u feel the sun on u but with the breeze blowing at around 13-25'c, its just so nice. U don't sweat, u are cold but nice cold. I don't really know how to discribe it. U get the picture(Ask more if u don't)

Had class and it was good. We talked about how to give an academic presentation. Ways to overcome anxiety and the fear of giving public speaches. Talked about pronounciation and even went into phonetics. Pity the 2nd yr cause they don't have a clue what was happening cause apparently Fauziah didn't teach them. Thank u Adelina!Later after class, during lunch, we shared food. Yes, Shobee, Stephen, Yeong Ru and I have been sharing food since day one and we use that from the pool money we got from cupcakes n clothes. Hehe. We had sandwiches and pasta and chicken and mutton all in large potions. It was good!Later, We sat on the grass(yes its not weird here to sit on the grass cause everybody else does it:) and planned our weekends. Lots of exciting stuff coming up this weekend! Can't wait!

We then went for class observation. Man the teachers there are superb! So dedicated and passionate about teaching. Thye have an international class of students and they play language games to remember vocabulary. (To Sze Sze and Hui Woon, there was a Korean dude that u both would have be slayed by! Tall, Korean(obviously) and handsome. Tust me, even shobee thinks he is cute:) haha. Met a Chinese student from China and a PHD candidate from Jordon. Felt so small yet have so much power compared to them when i was helping them with their essay. It was a very good to get to teach English to them and learning from them about their major at the same time. Very Cool!

After class, I went to Woolies(supermarket) with Shobee, Yeong Ru and Miao Miao(their homestay sister from Taiwan) Man their chocolates are cheap! 2 kitkats for 3 AUD. 1.29 for a Crunchie, Time Out as well. So cheap(don't convert la yeah) for so good chocolates. Walked across the Fremantle Bridge and took soem pics. Again with the breeze its so nice.

Had Tacos for dinner(again) cause thursday is tacos nite as declared by Jet! haha. after that took Boody(the dog) for a walk along Swan River which is only 2 blocks away. Might venture into the park next time!Watch bones after that with a hot cup of tea! Now i understand y a hot cup of tea is so good in the west. A hot cup just soothes the cold away!

Soon Theam called just now. Will be meeting him up tomorrow. He's flying off tomorrow nite. Didn't know that there are others here as well. Kay Shen  and a few are all here. If i met them it'll be sweet!

Talking to Sze Sze on msn right now as I'm typing this blog. It so fun! Now I know how it feels like 2 be away and on MSN. Sze Sze truly ISTIMEWA! hahaha

Personal comments on perth(PCOP):Good place. easy living but ppl here sleep to early! Absolutely LOVE the weather! Nice walks and well kept lawns and roads. Best of all, the bus are all on time!

That's all for now! TATA

Day 3&4

Sorry guys, no post about yesterday as was not feeling well. Went to bed at 6.30pm(aus time)and slept right through. Hopefully today will get better. Not very good as in healed today but will continue to pray that conditions will improve. So do pray.

Yesterday spent the whole afternoon at Perth city. Went to places like the bell tower, London Court, Myer@Murray Street and the musuem. After that took the bus home and man it was long. Felt likt puking the wole way but cannot, must hold up. Thats why when I reached back home, just slept and only woke up for dinner which was lasagna.

Woke up feeling like shit! didn't sleep properly also. Twist and turn a lot. Went to class like a tonne of brick in my head. Lucily Gui Chan gave me some panadol. Now as of this time when i'm typing this, I'm still fine. Don't know i'm already healed or its the panadol working. Will know tomorrow.

Spent the afternoon observing classes. Saw two teachers. One was Chirsable and another Melissa. They were both good and learnt a lot from their teaching styles.

OK, gtg, will tell u more tomorrow. Ciao

Down Under-Day 2

Howdy! I'm here in Perth for 2 days now! yeepee!

Went to the UWA main campus today by bus. Man there buses are on time! 8.05 means 8.05. Luckily its just across the road. Open the main gate and there it is. Went with another Saudi Arabian dude name Awad whose also in the same homestay house i'm in. He's in there for basic english class that are like our primary school level. When he found out i was a TESL student, brought out all his homeowrk for me to go through with him last night. I actually had first hand experiance teaching him and man is his level low! Have to repeat and use EXTREMELY simple sentences for us to understand each other. Another kid that's staying with me is Lenny whose from and island somewhere near Mauritius. He will be taking his IELTS tomorrow. I'm staying with a single mum called Francesca. She has 3 children with 2 out on travel. Her son is 22 anmd her daughter is 26. her  youngest is a girl name Hallie aka Jet whose 14. Very nice people. Had tacos for dinner today. hehe 

Had a uni tour. Man they have good architecture. too bad they have exam so cannot go in n c. will do that 2molo if have time. they belanja us makan after the tour. We sapu like crazy the 4 of us. We each took something different and then sapu like crazy, and that was only after 2 hours after lunch! haha. Had a fun 2 hours by Swan River after that. Laid on the grass and cam whored with my friends. haha. The scenery was beautiful! and we saw seagulls and duck swimming on the river. There was even wild parrots and peacocks on campus. so much fun!

Made contact with Richie koko today. Might visit him during backpacking. 

My Australian number is ugly rite but cannot choose number one. They give it to u. Would have wanted an better number but what 2 do. Sudah register. Register first, then they'll sms u ur number. So bad rite? 

Anyways...got to go. Wanna do and optional assignment. Yes there is such a thing as an optinal assignment. Wanna do, do. Dun wanna do, they are fine with it. Haha. Crazy rite? After all, i've paid for it, might as well fully benefit from it. 

Ok, see ya tomorrow! Pictures will be up when I'm using someone elses computer and not my hostparent's! hehe.

tata:P

From Down Under...Day 1

I'm in Australia~!~

After slogging for like a super long time for this trip I'm finally here.Went to the airport with Yeong Ru this morning. Met up with Shobee and Stephen there. Flight was delayed till 10.30am. Had to wait for super long wei.

It was a 5 hour flight. Did all sorts of stupid stuff with Shobee, Stephen and Yeong Ru aka The gang like chor tai tee, and talked all the way. Bought food on the plane and shared. We're eat like orang tak pernah makan before. Jakun betul! Flew across the desert and they seem to be like a cracking because of the intence heat. The only shadow that can be found was the pathetic small clouds that were found sparingly.

After like for the longest time, we finally reached Perth. Civilization!We went through custom and had to be checked for almost eveything cause Stephen went to toilet and came back to the line late. Apparently that warrents him to be a potential terrorist of some sort and so we were all throughly checked! Scanned, X-rayed, took out all our stuff that needed to be declared like wood and medicine. Felt so violated!

After been given the green light, we came out and lo and behold almost everybody was out d except a few. Met the bus driver who was suppose to pick us up and man did he looked annoyed. Later we found out that he was there at the airport sin 3.30pm! so sorry man.

Met our homestay parent(s). Her name: Ms Francesca M Meehan. 23 Palmerston St, Mosman Park WA 6012 Australia. She has 3 children but 2 are on travel. Met her youngest-Jet. She has 2 other homestay kids with her and plus me is 3. Lenny is from some where Muritius and Awad is from Saudi Arabia. Lenny can still be understood but Awad is bad. Understands mininal english. Had Spagetti for dinner. Apparently then take turns washing dishes. Think tomorrow might be my turn. 1 thing good is she's very chin cai. Can have anything dun care what time. Its there in the kitchen and its free for all.

First impression of Perth: Sleepy town. So few ppl on the street. maybe its because it was sunday. Lets see what tomorrow bring out. Maybe the people would be out by then. haha

Its almost 10 now. Turning in soon. Dun know Y so sleeply.Class starts tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day! Ciao..

Initiated, Bullied, Coaxed and Guilt...

The title says it all....My great achievement for today. haha

First was Prof Lim's class. He will be going to Taiwan tommorow and therefore had to cancel his thursday class with us. He INITIATED the cancelling of class so i had nothing to do with it.

Next was Bill Templers's class. He asked us whether would we be still be here for thursday's class and we all did said NO. Some were unhappy and asked him to continue the class. He then ask who will not be present on thursday, more than half of the class raised their hands. Dah la his class sudah ramai ponteng, more than half would make it more miserable. He even contemplated to not take attendance but we just BULLIED him into totaling cancelling it! tada..2 down 2 more to go.

Met Rashid on the way to after Bill's class. He said " see you on Thurday" Hugh then cleverly said:" But sir, 2 class after your class is already cancelled. I don't think there will be many ppl coming. Can we just cancel Thursday's class?"
"Oh, ok. Selamat Hari Raya than!" came the reply. Waahoo...Mission COAXED accomplished!

Finally, as etika was coming to an end, We told Mr Faizal. "Sir, kelas thursday cancel la"
F:" Siapa present thurdsay? Ada datang tak? Ada, then tak boleh cancel"
All: " Tapi tiada penonton! Sempena Bulan yang Mulia ini, tak pa la!....Ulteritarian...Bertimbang rasa! Please..."
F:" Dengan ini... saya mengisytiharkan....kelas Khamis.....DITANGGUHKAN!"

WOOHOO.... We so totally GUILT him into cancelling class. haha:P

Thus, the GREAT ACCOMLISHMENT for 23/9/2008...THURSDAY'S 4 class are all CANCELLED!!!

WE ARE GOOD!!!..haha

On Counseling and Editorship....

Ended Jothi's class today super early around 3.30pm (Thank God) and went for makan at arts fac cafe. As I was finishing my drink, Chloe, a ex-9 friend approach me n ask if im free. Told her had a class at 5 so she say sempat to happen. Happen what?

Apparently her group mate's counseling subject ffk him so they r finding someone to take her place. She said should finish b4 5pm. I mah go lo. Anything just 2 try for the experiance. hehe. Who knew the group member was Roy! haha. He was super happy as his 'subject'/lab rat can speak english now!(whatever that means)....so mah follow go Menara Pendidikkan 3rd flor lo.

Had a session on My Leadership skills...Apparently I'm too autocratic n demanding that i should try democracy for a change...hmm...We'll c about that:)

Counseling finish before 5pm so sempat la pi Looi's class. Siapa tahu.....piss! man! piss!!!! I tell u...

Who said being a Chief Editor is fun? huh? huh? huh?

Kena bombared by Mr Looi today in class. So memalukan k! I dun freaking know how to run an editorial board, heck i dun even know how to be a journalist! All this is new and thats WHY I'm in YOUR FREAKING CLASS!

Dah la the ppl dun wanna cooperate. Ask them to send in 2 articles by the end of the month also like snail. Post la 1 or zero! freaking 0! how 2 kao for like that... sian wei!

I hate being the bad guy here but they leave me no choice. I will be firm the next class, Dun care anymore!
